Ph.D thesis

Thesis Subject : Data Security Approach in Information Technology and Cryptography: DNA Algorithm.Abstract : Security has always been a substantial problem for humankind throughout the history and at the same time it has also been a basic need. Defense and attack strategies have formed security policies which are underlying the war. The term of war has evolved over the ages and nally the concept of asymmetric warfare has emerged. Furthermore, developing communication utilities and spreading information technologies bring the information warfare to the agenda. In parallel with the development of defense strategies and as a result of human curiosity for the protected things, new attack strategies have been developed. Similarly, for the purposes of defense throughout history, encryption algorithms has been used for all communication channels. DNA algorithm and human reproduction logic as an encryption algorithm has been suggested for today’s fastest communication channels, the networks and the internet. Based on the simplest model of Communication, Shannon-Weaver Communication Model, the human reproduction logic designed as an algorithm for information systems.
